"Acting is my passion, and profession too": Shweta Gulati
Wednesday, June 06, 2007
Post 'Remix' Shweta Gulati has made her entry into 'Durgesh Nandinii'. This babe had been on a long break now and the break gets over with a host of shows. She likes to maintain her youthful look on screen and is happy that the audience likes her that way. We spoke to Shweta about the latest happening in her life.
Tell
us
about
your
entry
in
'Durgesh
Nandinii'.
(laughs)
My
character's
name
is
Priyanka
and
she
is
a
very
positive
girl.
She
makes
her
entry
into
the
house
as
Sikander's
past.
She
actually
wants
justice
from
Sikander
and
wants
the
five
years
she
spent
on
Sikander
back
from
him,
as
Sikander
is
now
getting
engaged
to
Durgesh.
The
entry
of
my
character
is
going
to
bring
turmoil
in
their
lives.
So,
how
comfortable
are
you
doing
a
serious
show?
I
have
shot
just
for
one
day
and
I
will
be
shooting
continuously
from
the
next
week.
So,
I
will
be
able
to
give
you
a
better
idea
then.
But,
for
whatever
I
have
shot
for,
I'm
extremely
happy
working
with
such
a
good
producer
and
crew
members.
I
had
done
a
serious
show
earlier
also.
How
did
this
offer
come
to
you?
I
was
approached
for
this
role
and
then
I
went
there
to
appear
for
a
screen
and
look
test.
Soon
I
was
confirmed
for
the
role.
In
your
previous
shows
you
have
played
younger
characters.
So
how
easy
is
it
for
you
to
play
this
character?
A:
Yes,
it
is
fun.
I
guess
I'm
also
graduating
in
my
roles
slowly
with
time
(laughs).
A
time
will
come
when
I
will
be
playing
a
wife
and
then
a
mother
and
then
a
grandmother.
But
there
is
still
some
years
left
for
that.
Tell
us
about
you
look
in
the
show.
A:
Oh,
I
still
maintain
a
modern
look
and
not
anything
in
a
salwar
or
all
that.
I
will
be
seen
sporting
short
dresses,
as
I
used
to
wear
in
the
other
shows.
So
there
is
not
much
of
a
difference.
I'm
lucky
that
this
look
of
mine
is
maintained
and
liked
by
people.
After
a
few
years,
I
would
definitely
be
seen
in
sarees.
So
I
want
to
make
full
use
of
this
time.
How
was
it
working
with
senior
and
older
actors?
(laughs)
It
is
fun
working
with
then
too.
Why
don't
we
see
you
more
on
television?
I
needed
a
break
post
"Remix" because
I
had
worked
a
lot
for
it.
I
needed
to
do
nothing
for
some
time
and
thus
I
was
away
from
television.
Actually,
I
could
have
taken
a
longer
break
too
because
I'm
not
those
kind
of
people
who
say
'Oh,
I
have
missed
one
good
year
of
stardom'.
You
were
also
a
theatre
artist.
So
is
it
that
acting
is
your
passion
and
not
your
profession?
I
have
done
theatre
recently
too,
but
it
is
not
that
acting
is
not
my
profession.
It
is
my
full-fledged
profession,
but
I'm
not
too
ambitious.
I
like
to
do
things
as
they
come
by
and
till
now
I'm
extremely
satisfied
with
whatever
I
have
done.
What
else
are
you
doing?
At
present
I
have
signed
two
more
shows
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
it.
In
one
of
them
I
will
be
playing
a
college
going
girl,
so
you
cannot
say
that
I
have
stopped
the
trend.
But
the
shooting
has
not
begun
and
we
might
be
going
on
floors
within
three
weeks.
I
will
be
able
to
tell
you
things
more
clearly
then.
